We don't count anyone our enemy.
We don't provoke anyone.
And if no one provokes us, we won't attack them.

Jefferson wrote a letter to Congress.
And in the letter, Jefferson says, he told us,
that our prophet says you're our enemy, our Quran says we have to lay in wait, ambush you, kill you, use stratagems, and enslave you.
And this was, of course, he didn't know this, Jefferson, but he was paraphrasing the Muslim Quran 9-5, which is known as the sword verse.
So it sort of makes sense when you fast forward to today and you see all the complications that Europeans are having with Muslims, and not just Europeans, Australia, wherever you have significant Muslim populations living side by side with non-Muslims.
As Samuel Huntington said in his book, Islam's borders are bloody, as are its innards.
Very true statement.
So you fast forward and you come to today.
And, you know, Americans by nature are a very hospitable people and they, you know, they'll give you the benefit of the doubt.

It gives us context.
It makes you understand what's happening.
But they're learning it the hard way, just the way.
